Gamma Lambda

AMMA LAMBDA is a fraternity composed of band men, and was organized at the University of Nebraska in 1912. At the time of its organization this fraternity was local in character but became nationalized in 1920 when a chapter was installed at the University of Florida. The object of this fraternity is to unite the members of the band into a common organization, to promote good fellowship and brotherhood among its members, and to work for the development and betterment of the college bands throughout the United States, and in particular, the University of Nebraska.

     Gamma Lambda is active also in promoting and sponsoring concerts played by the band and in handling its business affairs.

     The founders of this, the Alpha chapter of the fraternity, were Everett Lanphere, Luther G. Andrews, and Boyd Edwards.

     Each year new members of Gamma Lambda are chosen from incoming members of the band, they being selected on the basis of the interest they have shown in the band and their ability as musicians.

Green Goblins

LetterHE Green Goblins organization, honorary freshman society, was established at the University of Nebraska in the fall of 1919. The organization was an outgrowth of a former freshman society called "Spikes" which died out during the World War. The membership of the organization is composed of one representative from each fraternity and eight non-fraternity men.

     The ideal of the organization is one of service to the University and its purpose is the enthusiastic support of all school activities. Its aim is to create friendships in the freshman class and bring about a good fellowship among first year men that will be a pleasure and a benefit to them during their University life.

     They have just finished one of their most successful years on the campus. They successfully staged the annual Freshman Barbecue for the purpose of close relationship among the class of '29, besides leading the winning freshmen in the annual Olympic contest. The organization has assisted in the various drives and campaigns and gave special effort to the enforcement of the wearing of the green caps by freshmen last fall.
